Tech vs. commercial aspects

The SoundTech Incubator Program is focusing mainly on the technical part of your business development process. Of course, this aspect should not stand alone, as you will also need to focus on exploring customer needs, reaching markets, finding customers, defining go-to-market strategy, etc. “Beyond Beta” is the supplementary program where you can join training sessions and relevant commercial disciplines. We will get back to all applicants as soon as we have this information available.

From incubation to acceleration

When this incubator program finishes, you are invited to continue networking with the other startups in the program and be part of the sound tech startup communities in both.

If you are ready to take the next steps, you should consider the Beyond Beta accelerator program designed for more mature startups. Gear up your business for rapid scaling, become investment-ready and find relevant investors, corporates, and experts: https://beyondbeta.dk/accelerator/

Hopefully we’ll see you around in the community very soon!
